Pakistan has received its first shipment of liquified petroleum gas from Russia, Moscow’s embassy in Islamabad said on Tuesday, marking Islamabad’s second major Russian energy purchase.
The shipment, which the embassy said was delivered with Iranian help, comes after Pakistan received its first-ever delivery of Russian crude under a deal struck between the two countries earlier this year.
Russia delivered 100,000 metric tons to Pakistan through Iran’s Sarakhs Special Economic Zone, the Russian embassy said in a post on social media.
